Don't mess with Sherlock Kick-Ass Holmes

Sherlock: "I say, Watson, old chap, is that
American-aping, Guy Ritchie rubbish
that I see before me?"
Watson: "No sh*t, sir. He hasn't had a good idea since
he put his wife in a movie. Mojo's gone."
Sherlock: "AAAah. Very astute."

It's elementary my dear Tyson, I mean Watson.
Here's a classic Sherlock move. He's cornered the bad guy and that can mean only one thing:
it's time for ultimate fighting. No pipes allowed.

I don't know or care if anybody wants the Sherlock of old, but it was always about a mystery to be solved, not an arse to be kicked.
This is a movie where Hollywood's Guy Ritchie morphed one of the few bankable British characters and turned him into another Jean-Claude Van Damme rip-off.

1 the Score-3/5
2 the gay subplot, and, 3 the farty comedy dog
"There is, undoubtedly, much to love in the Redford/Newman dynamic so lovingly, endearingly aped by Downey Jr and Law as Holmes and Watson respectively. Their incessant bickering, their clear love for one another, their escapades with various ladyfolk (who sometimes appear to exist to make it clear to the Middle-American masses that they’re not, y’know, gay or anything) and the numerous scrapes and scuffles they seem inherently predisposed to… It’s a relationship that’s both massively entertaining and convincing, and even survives the occasional bits featuring a farty comedy dog."
"A fun, action-packed reintroduction to Conan Doyle's classic characters. Part Two should provide more in the way of scope."

What every Sherlock Holmes fan wants from a movie, a gassy dog.
10-year-old boys, perhaps.

I wonder
did the dog fart on cue, or
did somebody follow it around with a microphone?
Just curious. I've always wanted to be a director.
